Restbite

179club

Hi all.

Thanks to the pandemic all services are suspended.

I mind my father on my own 24/7. Where I go he have to go. Where he go I go.

Have not had a day off since the end of January 2020. Covid came and I lost all

my rest bite. Is there hope for carers out there. I have already collapsed and

was in A&E. A neighbor's son with dad until I got home.

I had to leave without results of scan as no one to mind dad.

Would anyone know if restbite happening soon.

This is terrible for carers. We get 219 euro a week and no help at all.

Hope you carers are keeping well.

Maybe give Citizens information a call? They will know what there is out there for folk in your hard situation; good luck and take carei!

Really sorry to hear what you're going through OP.

Without knowing the full reasons why Respite care might be suspended (or not), it could be because with Covid hitting nursing homes the hardest, your father is safer in a home setting than in a care setting.

As well as trying Citizens Information as Graces7 suggested maybe try the district nurse too.

Best of luck.
